WALTER CRICKMER: THE GENIUS WHO BEGAN MANCHESTER UNITED'S REMARKABLE OVER 4000-GAME STREAK OF ACADEMY EXCELLENCE.

Manchester United have included at least one youth team graduate in their league matchday squad for the past 86 years. A run that started before World War II.

This tradition has continued uninterrupted for over 87 years, encompassing more than 4,000 consecutive games across all competitions.

And the man who started it?

Walter Crickmer

Crickmer started a youth team and kept training going even during German bombings.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN 💐🪦

Siniša Mihajlović (1969-2022)

ON THIS DAY 2 years ago, former AC Milan and Bologna manager Sinisa Mihajlovic died at the age of 53 following a long battle with leukemia.

The ex-Yugoslavia defender, who won the European Cup with Red Star Belgrade as a player in 1991, first announced he had leukemia in 2019.

He was successfully treated but was diagnosed with the illness for a second time in March 2022. Mihajlovic won Serie A as a player with Lazio and Inter Milan and also played for Roma and Sampdoria.

He also won 63 international caps between 1991 and 2003, representing the former Yugoslavia at the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000.

ON THIS DAY 22 years ago, Brescia forward Roberto Baggio scored his 300th career goal in the home side's Serie A win over Piacenza. With that goal, he became the first Italian in over 50 years to reach 300, and only the third Italian ever to do so.

Baggio started his professional career in Serie C1 with Vicenza (1982-85) but soon moved to bigger stages with Fiorentina (1985-90), Juventus (1990-95), AC Milan (1995-97), Bologna (1997-98) and Inter (1998-2000), before moving to Brescia in 2000. By the time he retired in 2004, he had scored 318 goals in all competitions, third among Italians only to Silvio Piola (364) and Giuseppe Meazza (338). Along the way, Baggio amassed a number of honors, including two Scudettos (1994-95 and 1995-96) and the 1993 Ballon d'Or.

Despite his shooting prowess, he is widely remembered for a goal he did not score. In the 1994 World Cup Final, Italy were tied with Brazil 0-0 at the end of extra time. In the ensuing penalty shootout, Brazil were leading 3-2 after four kicks. Baggio stepped up to take the Italians' fifth and final kick and sent it over the crossbar to give the Brazilians the win.

ON THIS DAY 10 years ago, former Arsenal captain, Thierry Henry announced his retirement from football at the age of 37 after leaving New York Red Bulls.

The Frenchman, who also played for Monaco, Juventus, and Barcelona, scored 175 Premier League goals and is seventh on the list of all-time scorers.

Henry won two Premier League titles and three FA Cups with the Gunners, where he played between 1999 and 2007.

He added the Champions League trophy with Barcelona in 2009 and returned to Arsenal for four matches on loan from the Red Bulls in 2012, coming on as a substitute to score the winner against Leeds in the third round of the FA Cup.

Henry, France's record goalscorer, made his Monaco debut in 1994 and helped the club to the French Ligue 1 title in 1997.

In 1998, he was an unused substitute in the World Cup final victory over Brazil, though he went on to score three goals as France won Euro 2000.

16 December 1990

ON THIS DAY 34 years ago, 19-year old midfielder Josep "Pep" Guardiola made his Barcelona debut in a 2-0 win over Cádiz.

Having joined the club's youth academy seven years earlier, Guardiola started as a right midfielder before manager Johan Cruyff saw him in a reserve match and moved him to a central position. He quickly adapted to his new responsibilities and was called up to the first team for a friendly against Banyoles in May 1989.

Then, in December 1990, Cruyff gave Guardiola his competitive debut in a league match at home against Cádiz. A crowd of 75,000 witnessed the occasion, causing the young midfielder to suffer a small bout of nerves while waiting to take the pitch. But once there, he played well with a grit and determination not to make a mistake (he did pick up a yellow card in the 33rd minute for a foul on an opposing player).

Barcelona won the match 2-0 with goals from Txiki Begiristain and José Maria Bakero, then went on to win the league. Guardiola made only four other appearances that season, but established himself as a regular the following year and helped the team to another five league titles, two Copa del Rey trophies, and one European Cup before leaving for Brescia in 2001.

He returned to the club in 2007 as an assistant manager, then took full reins of the team from 2008 to 2012, winning another fourteen trophies including three league titles and two Champions League trophies.
